Indian Waqf Service supported by
All India Muslim Majlis Mushawarat

Jan 18, 2012 (New Delhi):

The following Resolution was passed by All India Muslim
Majlis-e-Mushawarat:

Waqf Cadre: In order to safeguard Waqf properties and ensure the smooth
functioning of waqf boards, Sachar Committee recommended the creation of
a Waqf administrative cadre within the Indian administrative service
comprising of Muslim officers as the non-availability of Muslim officers
hampers the functioning of state and central Waqf boards. But the Union
Minority Ministry, whose job is to implement schemes started as a result
of the Sachar findings, is not in the favour of such a cadre. The
excuses put forward are meaningless as the government itself deputes
Muslim officers to run Waqf boards and a number of southern states
already have an administrative cadre consisting of Hindu officers to run
temples. AIMMM also demands that the expenditure of waqf boards should
be fully met by state governments.

Resolution passed by the Central Committee (Markazin Majlis) of the All
India Muslim Majlis-e Mushawarat [umbrella body of Indian Muslim
organisations] on 6 August 2011
